'Accomplished...a strangely mesmerising effect...absolutely excellent' New Statesman New York 1980s Alice Burns - a young book editor - is deep into a manuscript about the morass of family life. The observations within resonate perhaps because she has just watched her own family implode. As she reads she wonders: When did the sadness start? And could it be that unhappiness is a choice? Thus begins a great American epic which follows Alice as she navigates high school first love and sexism at an elite college a spell in 1970s Ireland and a tragedy that sends her stateside as the US embraces a cowboy actor named Reagan. But it is also the tale of her endlessly complex parents and brothers - how their destinies are written by the lies they tell themselves and others. The Great Wide Open is an immensely ambitious and compulsive saga a novel which will speak volumes to anyone who has marvelled at that pain that can only be caused by family itself.
